I've used the Fisher & Paykel Zest mask for seven years. I recently tried an Eson mask, and while comfortable it doesn't make a good seal around my nose due to a narrow bridge. I tried two differernt size Eson cushions. Any other recommendations? Or if it ain't broke don't fix it? I just wanted to s...

I started looking into smaller, simpler setups because a number of people posted that this is too complicated and anything that required drilling holes and soldering wires was beyond their capabilities. I'm all about smaller, simpler solution too. That why I like your U1 battery suggestion - don't ...

The post I made above features a battery box with carrying handle and a button on the exterior you press to check the charge in the battery. I think that's an option worth the added cost. Total for the entire setup was >$260. Is there a way to secure U1 size battery inside the Minn Kota power cente...

This older thread seems to have a pretty nice parts list/instructions for building a safe battery backup solution. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=89123 Anyone know of any improvements or similar (newer) instructions? This thread has smilier info, but the above thread is very explicit ab...

Any speculation why prescribing physician/manufacturer would suggest ever cleaning any components of CPAP system then? The DME I picked up machine from gave me a pamphlet they printed with a schedule of when to clean each component, and mentions the proper ratio of water/vinegar to use for disinfect...

Dave, look at the hose. The only air that goes through it is ambient (room) air that has been filtered by the CPAP machine. None of the air you expel goes into the tube, a one-way valve prevents that. I'm more concerned about stuff growing in the water that occasionally gets in the tube from rainou...

OK, so how do people suggest I disinfect the hose then? I like to do so when I am sick (which I currently am), so that I don't reinfect myself. I was trying to find the least messy way to go about this. My plan was to: 1) cap one end of hose 2) fill hose with diluted vinegar, recommended disinfectan...

I'd like to DIY some tube caps/plugs similar to those pictured here: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/tube-cleaning-system-cpap-hose.html This would make it easier to fill the tubes with a dilute vinegar solution for cleaning. The hose connection cuff has an inner diameter of 22mm but I haven't foun...

I've had issues with my CPAP machine breaking while traveling. I like American Home Patient because they have locations in all the cities I travel to for work - so if I find myself needing something they can help with a loaner/etc. YMMV - I've not had the chance to test this theory yet since switchi...

Has anyone ever tried using a jump starter pack like a Junp-N-Carry JNC660 ? I occasionally see this model as low as $100 on Amazon. http://www.cloreautomotive.com/sku.php?id=244 http://www.cloreautomotive.com/uploaded_files/sku/632_842-355-008%20C.pdf It has a 12V DC power socket - manual claims yo...

I think Pugsy was referring to the Resmed USB or Serial cables, you pop off the "data card module" aka the plastic cover with slot for the smart card, and you can plug in a USB module, a Serial port module, or the ResLink module that records pulse oximetry data. Here is a nice page with all the vari...

I have a USED ResMed ResScan Smart Card Reader for S8 and S8 II. Includes my data card if you need it, I wrote over my name in permanent marker as you can see in image below. I used ResScan to wipe the data on the card. Asking $25 shipped (meaning the price includes shipping costs). I'll send it in ...
